Abstract (en)

A printing machine (10), especially a flexographic printing machine, is described. The printing machine (10) comprises at least two machine parts (P) being movable with respect to each other. Moreover, a reference position detection unit (48, 54) is provided which comprises a magnetic element (50, 56, 60) and a magnetic detector (52, 58) being configured for detecting a characteristic of a magnetic field being generated by the magnetic element (50, 56, 60). One of the magnetic element (50, 56, 60) and the magnetic detector (52, 58) is arranged on one of the machine parts (P) and the respective other one of the magnetic element (50, 56, 60) and the magnetic detector (52, 58) is arranged on the respective other one of the machine parts (P), such that a reference position of one of the machine parts (P) with respect to the other one of the machine parts (P) is detectable in that the magnetic detector (52, 58) detects a characteristic of the magnetic field being generated by the magnetic element (50, 56, 60).
